PHILADELPHIA, PA.
The Reading Road Turns Over its
Express Business 10 the
Adams Express Go.
ESPECIAL TO THE APPEAL,l

PHILADELPHIA, PA., February A.
Some years ago President Gowan, OIL
assuming control of the Reading rail
road, inaugurated the plan of rail-
road conducting an express business.
The Reading" was the original rail
road express, and hes for good many
years conducted an express business
but, after It's experience, the road has,
through its present president, Mr..
Austin Corbin, concluded to abandon
the express business and transfer the
same to the Adams Express Company,
which originally did the express bust
ness on that road.
Mr.. Corbin has thus concluded that
a warranted percentage from a great
express company would prove the
most satisfactory and profitable ar
raDgement. Tho great Adams Elk
press company thus adds 1900 miles
to its territory with some hundreds o.
offices.
The Abandonment of the business
by the original railroad express and
the resumption OF the express bust
ness on the Reading by the Adams il
significant point in favor of the
regu ar express companies, and indi'
Gates that the ablest railway manage
ment recogniz % the express business
as entirely distinct from railroad bust
ness.
A prominent express official says;
"To be good expires man one mus
be brought up in the business"
The Baltimore and Ohio Express fol
some time depended on the Adams
Express Company for the transporta
ton of its business in and out OF New
York but mas lately depended on the
Reading Express.
What effect the new arrangement
will have on the Baltimore and Ohio
Express is not understood.

A LOCOMUTIYE DERAILED
BY a Miscreant Who Puts a CrOsstIs
on the Track.

PITTsBURa, Pa, February As the
limited express from Cincinnati on
the Panhandle road was nearing
Coshocton, o., at an early hour this
morning the engine suddenly jumped
the track and the train came to an
abrupt stop. The passengers were
considerably shaken up, but fortu-
nately none of them were hurt. Upon
investigation it was found that some
miscreant had placed cTosstie on the
track for the purpose of throwing the
train from the track. The crew made
a search for the parties who had com
mitted the dastardly deed, but were
unable to find them. The parties are
known and will be arrested.

Consumption Cured.

An old physician, retired from prac- tice, having had placed in his hands by an East India missionary the formula of simple vegetable remedy for the speedy and permanent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma and all throat and Lung Alice tions, also positive and radical cure for Nervous Debility and all Nervous Complaints, after having tested it's wonderful curative powers in thou sands of cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his suffering fellows. Actuated by this motive and desire to relieve human suffering, I will send, free of charge, to all who desire it, this recipe in German, French or Eng fish, with full directions for prepar- ing and using.

Women on the Frontier.
Peoria Call

The wife of a recent governor of a far western state, says Mrs. General Howard, used to take her blankets and go cautiously out, after nightfall, to some sheltered nook, there to sleep, with the stars for company. Her husband was obliged to make long
 freighting trips to some distant min ing camp. She has recently presided at her husbands home at the state capital, while he filled the highest office in the state. And that capital has sprung from a few dugouts to 75,000 inhabitants since her days and nights of danger on the river bluff, and her children, yet in their teens, have been enjoying the educational advantages of state university. AL other brave woman, afterward the wife of a country judge, was seized by an Indian lover, who intended to place her on an Indian pony and carry her away with him. She gave him a quick blow with the rolling pin that she was using, then pushed him with all her might out of her door and against his pony. Then she snatched her rifle, took cap-box from her pocket, where she always carried it, and fitting cap to her gun she aimed at the Indians heart. In the mean time he had mounted his pony, and now fell upon his face on fhe pony's neck. The cap snapped, fortunately, but she pursued him, determined to kill him. She was good marks woman, frequently killing antelopes and other game. The Indians, seeing her determined air, fled. Her husband said if she had killed him there would have been no escape for them from the savages, who were near in large num- bers, and his only conveyance being a slow OK team.

he got a writing table specially con- structed for the train. This was complete success. There might be other persons in the compartment, but as soon as the novelist got in he set up his table, got out his writing mate- rials, and worked as unconcernedly as if he were at home. AS Trollope held that serial stories for magazines were spoilt if written from month to month, and always, except in one case, finished his own before its publication began, it is notable that the exception which appeared in the opening num- bers of CosnhtU, is generally acknowl- edged to be his best novel.
 Some men can only write at par ticular table, and at a particular side of that table. The writer is thinking specially of one who writes best with rusty pen nibs. He has hundreds of these in his desk-the accumulation of years-and he frequently changes them. The one he has been using, however, goes back to the desk for use on some future occasion. He is also ucPOtcu lO dULlIIldCdbSdrS. rOH these he abstracts the threads with which he ties his papers together, and on days when there are no antimacassars he does not write. It is curious to think of MT. Herbert Spencer playing lawn tennis. One would have as soon expected to see Carlyle at shuttlecock and battledoor.
 MT. W. s. Gilbert finds a piece of plotting paper by his side great help when he is writing comic operas. This is not for plotting his manu- scripts, but for drawing pictures on. These are caricatures, and oftener the sketch suggests quaint thought than thought suggests the sketch. Some literary men write by means of an amanuensis. M. du Chaillu, the trav- eler, for instance, largely employs an amanuensis for writing the books for children which he makes out of his own works. "The Land of the Mid night Sun" afforded several books for the young, all of which were dictated by M. du Chaillu. These have an enormous sale-far greater than the original work itself.

Why One Old Bachelor Got Married.


 My friend Dartwitch was bache- Tor and kept bachelors hall--not so very old, but yet some distance from his youth. I called upon him one afternoon last winter and found him suffering from a severe cold, nose and eyes running and face flushed.
 "Ah," said ], "Dartwitch, you want wife"
 "Do, I dod't," said he, energetically. "A womad would odly be i'd the way ;"
 "But if you are i'll think what a nurse she would be to you"
 "I cad durse myself, as have always dode," said he.
 "And this cold?" said I.
 "Oh, he answered, to-dight I'll put by feet idto hot water, and Tll be all right i'd the bordgig."
 And that night Dartwitch took his warm bath. It was one of the coldest nights of the winter, with the ther- mometer not far above zero. He felt so comfortable in his bath that he fell asleep. His fire went out, and still he slept on, sort of torpor having ap- parently fallen upon his senses. He awoke next morning to find himself frozen hard and fast in his tub.
 The boy who came early to clean his boots heard his lusty cries and went to his assistance, and, having procured hatchet, proceeded to chop the unfortunate bachelor out. The neighbors came in and put him to haI Ahsnlx | . fire, and ere long he was thoroughly thawed out.
 Three months afterwards received a gilt-edged note from Dartwitch, in- viting me to his wedding. He won't be frozen in this winter.- Colonel M- QerSOU.

Lemon Hot Drops.

After great many trials of the first physicians in the North and South, had grown exhausted by the continued experimental efforts of doctors to cure me of Chronic Laryngetis and Bron- chitis of most severe type, dropped into drug store, while more dead than alive. Speaking of my condition, friend of mind advised me to try Dr. Mozley's Lemon Hot Drops, which l did, and to my surprise, after taking the first bottle, it gave me complete relief. then bought three other bottles, which cured my case en- tirely of eight years standing.

 Dr. H. MOzLEY.-Dcar Sir: have suffered for five years with a severe cough and lung trouble. I saw your advertisement of Lemon Hot Drops, and procured bottle; having tried every cough-syrup and lozenge that could hear of with but little benefit. To my surprise, I derived benefit from the first dose. My cough left me, also the soreness of my lungs, by the use of four small bottles only. My cough was 50 Hvefe as to produce hemorrhagss, at the time I began to use 1t, and the relief was SO great that I shall ever feel grateful to you.

Rheumatism

Is undoubtedly caused by tactic acid in the blood. This acid attacks the fi-
 brous tissues, and causes the pains and aches in the back, shoulders, knees, ankles, hips and wrists. Thousands of people have found in Hoods Sarsapa- rilla positive cure for rheumatism.
 This medicine, by it's purifying action, neutralizes the acidity of the blood, and also builds up and strengthens the whole body. si.a.AT

THE SERENADE.
BY JAMES wBIrooMB RILEY.

The midnight is not more bewildcring To her drowsed eyes, than, to her ears, the
 sound
 Of dim, sweet singing voices, interwound With purl of flute and subtle twang of string, Strained through the lattice, where the roses
 cling,
 And with their fragrance wait the notes
 around
 Her haunted senses Thirsting beyond bound Of her slow yielding dreams, the Tilt and
 swing - Of the my sterous delirious tune, She drains like some strange opiate, with
 awed eyes
 Upraised against her easement, where,
 aswOon, The stars fail from her sight, and up the skies Of alien azure rolls the full round moon Like some vast bubble blown of summer
